Law firm appoints associate solicitor in dispute resolution team
Forbes Solicitors has appointed Rebecca Cowdy as an associate solicitor in its dispute resolution team.

Rebecca, who will be based in Central Lancashire, deals with contractual disputes, debts and personal and corporate insolvency.

She also specialises in enforcement work and costs applications such as obtaining non-party costs orders – this allows companies and individuals to recover money post judgment including looking to recover from those who may not be named in proceedings but who may have a controlling interest.  

Of her appointment Rebecca said: 'I am delighted to be joining such a well-respected and talented team and hope my experience will further enhance the wonderful service that Forbes offers to its clients.'

Michael Chambers, partner and head of dispute resolution at Forbes added: 'Rebecca has a fantastic track record and is a great addition to our team. She prides herself on building a good relationship with her clients and offering services relevant and proportionate to their needs, which fits perfectly with the way we operate.'
